I have selected President Andrew Jackson as my topic for a research paper that will satisfy the requirements of my Capstone project, and have elected to title it “Jackson: An Uncommon, Common Man.” President Jackson was a fascinating man, a sparsely educated man who was nevertheless admitted to the bar after being a “reader of law” for two years (just like another President that would follow less than two score years later.) Jackson has been called the first “modern President” in that unlike…

Jackson seethed with anger; he felt the voice of the people had been silenced. He…

France restoring their combined power to bring war upon the new nations, it appalled the British who felt all the work statesmen had done to get France out of the New World would be undone.

Not only have the numbers of bureaucrats grown, but also the methods and standards for hiring and promoting people have changed dramatically. Given the size of the bureaucracy, it is difficult to imagine a statistically typical bureaucrat. As a whole, however, the permanent bureaucracy is more…
